Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce found themselves in a bit of a tiff before the AFC Championship Game. However, it was Kelce who had the last laugh as the Chiefs emerged victorious, securing their spot in the Super Bowl. But the story doesn’t end there. New York Jets defensive star Quinnen Williams decided to have a little fun at Tucker’s expense during the NFL Pro Bowl Games.
To jog your memory, Tucker had been warming up near the Chiefs players before the game, which didn’t sit well with Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. In response, Kelce not only kicked Tucker’s ball but also threw his helmet. Tucker later revealed that Kelce had become excessively heated over the incident, even going so far as to call him a derogatory name.
Fast forward to the Pro Bowl Games on Sunday, and Williams made sure to prevent any potential hostility reminiscent of the AFC Championship. In a lighthearted manner, Williams cleared the area, ensuring that Tucker had plenty of space to do his thing. This playful gesture by Williams serves as a reminder that everyone in the NFL is well aware of the ongoing rivalry between Tucker and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Tucker, for his part, seemed to take the teasing in good spirits. He laughed along as Williams kept other Pro Bowl players at a distance, allowing the All-Pro kicker to focus on his kicks. However, Tucker should be cautious about getting on Kelce’s bad side. The last thing he wants is to face the wrath of Taylor Swift’s devoted fans on social media. Dealing with that kind of backlash is something nobody wants to experience.
